Sustainability is advancing: Five key takeaways from Climate Week

I had the opportunity to attend my first Climate Week in NYC alongside my colleague, Tessa Denison. The two primary events we attended were the UN Global Compact Leaders Summit and Ceres at Climate Week, specifically the Corporate Electric Vehicle Alliance (CEVA) sessions. The UN sessions brought together leaders from all sectors to review the private sector’s contribution to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The CEVA sessions brought together 35 companies committed to fleet electrification. 

I wanted to share five key takeaways from my Climate Week experience.

1. Collaboration is key

2. Knowledge is power

3. Leveraging disclosure for strategic growth

4. Embracing progress over perfection 

5. Data-driven insights

Making an impact collectively

The Sustainability field is evolving. I hope these takeaways can help advance sustainability in your organization. I left Climate Week more optimistic than ever. We have bright minds collaborating, challenging the status quo, embracing new technologies, and thinking of new solutions. While sometimes what we each own at our companies can feel small, collectively, we are making a big impact.
